Personalised Planner and a giveaway

25 January 2013

Well, well, well, it's all getting just a little bit 'personalised' over here on A Rosie Outlook isn't it? (Said no-one, ever). First your jazzy business cards and now a blog planner, who are you trying to be eh, eh? Well, 2013 is officially the year to be organised (okay it might not be, but it could be) and if you've entered to win a set of beautiful business cards you might also be interested in my lovely new blog planner and how you could win a personalised planner of your own.

Despite my business cards tucked in my handbag and my blog planner nestling nearby, I'm certainly not the professional blogger my personalised goods purport me to be, but I do like organisation, and I find that, when you work full time, along with having a dog to walk and a house to keep on top of a bit of careful planning is key. Lately I've found myself scribbling blog related notes more and more in my personal diary to ensure I keep on top of things I want to write about, and I found myself wondering if there was space in my life for a little blog planner.

My current diary is from Personal Planner - I bought it last year after seeing a few bloggers blog about theirs. The best thing about Personal Planner is that you can customise almost everything to do with the design; from the front and back cover, when the diary starts, formatting of the pages and extra boxes to keep track of to-do lists, hours at work, training etc. You can even import your friends and families' birthdays from Facebook, how clever is that? (The front cover is a photo of mine that makes me smile).

So naturally I was over the moon when Personal Planner contacted me to ask if I wanted to receive a gift card to design a planner (well, another planner!). As I already have my personal diary I thought it would be a great idea to design a blog planner that I can keep in my desk to make sure I keep on top of all things blog. I designed it quickly on their website; adding graphics from my blog design for a bit of consistency and it was with despatched just over a week later. I added boxes for 'to do lists' and 'ideas' and picked a pretty bird design.

I'm completely in love with it and can't wait to get planning and filling in the address book section and notes pages at the back. I massively recommend Personal Planners and was as equally thrilled with the diary I bought last year as my new blog planner I was kindly gifted. Personal Planner have kindly offered to give away a gift card to one of my readers so that you can design one of your own. As usual I've used Rafflecopter to manage the giveaway, you can check out the options on the widget but the only mandatory requirement is that you give their lovely Facebook page a like. Don't forget to enter to win some business cards (at time of writing there's still 5 days left until that one closes). The giveaway will close on 4 February at midnight and I'll announce the winner on Twitter and let them know they've won.

I like how you're trying to become more organised (esp with your blog!) I feel like this is the one area I forget to really organise and my posts are sometimes a bit randomly posted! I love the picture on your planner too!

Another amazing giveaway- the planners look great- I really want one! I want to get more serious with my veggie blog but I realise I need plan my content better so that I'm not completely blank when I do get some time to write. You're one of my blog-idols... You seem to do some great things, work full time, have a life and still write thoughful posts... Amazing! xx

I've been debating getting one of these for blog planning this year. I keep designing them then umming and ahhing over it, which is silly as it's only a few quid. If i don't win then i think i really ought to just do it. x
